Selling a Mobile Phone

Gingertom_2

I have a Nokia 5800 to sell. Hardly used, an unwanted gift, was on Vodafone, had it unlocked, now using a Tesco SIM.
Having looked up the places to sell it there is one @£90 and a couple at £88.
Fine but one problem.
It is still kept in its Box with all unused Cables, CD, Chargers, Earphone, Manual etc etc. Also has spare Screen covers and a High Power 1930 mAH battery and a neoprene cover.
I do not feel like binning that lot just because the companies only want the bare bones Handset.
Any suggestions (Except EBay)

Just a word of caution - the way you've writen your post, could be perceived that you're actually offering the phone for sale via this forum - which goes against the site rules etc.
Looking on Ebay, the prices seem to be around the £90-£100 pound mark, but go for a little more if it's the "with Music" version.

I've used Mazuma in the past, and found them to be extremely quick in paying out.

Just does anyone know any of these firms like Mazuma that would take the whole box of tricks not just the Phone leaving me to bin a load of new gear.

Get it on Ebay for sale, you'll get a buyer no problem, I just sold a three year old Nokia N76 for over £50 old contract phone, was very happy. Going to be selling another two handsets as have just renewed two contracts.

you could try CEX trade in price and get something there.

For sale ad local newspaper or website?

Trade the phone in to Mazuma or whoever (if you don't want to eBay it) then put the box and gubbins all together on eBay-you could make another £10 or £15.

Yes . I'll just have to get used to The Box and Gubbins going in the Bin.
EBay is out...they charge too much.

CEX will actually take it if it's boxed, it'll be a Grade A so get their best price for it.

The other stuff you could sell on eBay?

I've found Cex to usually pay much more than other dealers (but not always - probably 90% of the time). I usually sell my phones as soon as they arrive. Cex went through a period where they seemed rather untrustworthy (i.e. pay less than they promise) but I've found them much more efficient and honest in recent months.

They won't charge you more than you will make from selling it. It would cost about 20p to list and 75p Paypal. With the battery and everything you should get up to, say, £15. What on Earth do you have to lose?!
